How're words offensive? And why should I have to tolerate YOUR interpretation? I'm the one using the word. ASK me how I'm using it, don't TELL me. And if you don't like the way I'm using it, so what? It's my right. It's my freedom of expression. Without that, we're nothing but slaves.

Morning All

And another glorious Friday has arrived. It's the end of the week for most of us today, and [hopefully] the end of a career for Angela Raynor. 🤣

I found out why the press were so keen to get rid of her last night. She was working on housing reform to help young renters and the homeless. Has been for years.
It's like the olden days, when people stepped down just because they made a mistake. The independent assessment cleared her of malicious intent. The bar has been set high for Farridge. He should get under it easily.

She's stepped down because:
1. She didn't check, double-check, check, then triple-check.
Anyone with an ounce of intelligence would have said: "Look, not only am I the housing minister, I'm the deputy prime minister. We need to check this fifteen times before we proceed.

2. Someone's lying. Her solicitors have stated they gave her no advice regarding stamp duty implications. It would actually be more serious for a firm of solicitors to lie.

I don't believe a word of this "Housing reform" bollocks. Any empty homes, including apparently £300,000 homes in Surrey, are being used to house illegals. Christ, they aren't even meeting their house-building targets.

The woman has gone; now we must get more in our sights as far as I'm concerned.

I can see why you might think Labour have done nothing in the last year. Nothing has been reported in the media. That seems odd, doesn't it?

That's not true. It all depends on what news you watch and how hard you're prepared to look for the stories. Don't expect the BBC to air anything derogatory. Socialists and left-wingers have completely taken them over.

I watch the BBC news at 6 am for the first half hour, and that's it, I don't watch them again because the missus can't stand me shouting at the screen again.

Bunch of biased fucks.

I can't comment. We just put our house into a trust, on the advice of a specialist who helped us write a will. If only one of us goes into care, the government can only take half our estate, protecting half our children's inheritance when the 2nd one dies, as though we'd divorced and had 2 houses, when they'd have only nicked one. I didn't seek a 2nd opinion. It's clearly tax avoidance. I suspect the advisor is a Tory. I trusted an expert.
